Pollack Single Wire Socket # PK11851
Question:
Does the Pollack Single-Pole Round Pin Socket also have the capability to attach a ground wire, like its mate, the Pollack Single-Wire Connector? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
The # PK11851 Single Pole Round Pin Trailer Connector is designed to deliver power to a trailer. It's not grounded, because the battery on the tow vehicle is already grounded and trailer mounted equipment is usually grounded as well. The ground connection would typically be carried through an additional connector; depending on the piece of equipment you are supplying power to you might need to increase the ground wire gauge.
If you need the connector to power a winch, you would be better off using a quick disconnect wiring kit like part # BDW20206.
You could also use a two pole connector, # PK12801 for the vehicle side and # PK12800 for the trailer side.
